caption_attribution_description: English: Specular (mirror-like) reflection (without scattering) with the angle of the reflected beam equal to the angle of the incident beam.
context_page_description: The visual appearance of objects is given by the way in which they reflect and transmit light. The color of objects is determined by the parts of the spectrum of light that are reflected or transmitted without being absorbed. Additional appearance attributes are based on the directional distribution of reflected or transmitted light described by attributes like glossy, shiny versus dull, matte, clear, turbid, distinct, etc.
caption: Figure 2A: Specular, mirror like reflection. The inclination of the reflected beam is identical to the inclination of the incident beam.
